It never hurts to be reminded… you have to keep an open mind. For years I have been aware of two Bailey families coming in the Rockford, Kent Co, MI area around about the same time, those of Smith Bailey (the family of my Step-Great-Grandfather) and Ethan Allen Bailey. To the best of my knowledge they aren't closely related, though I've often wondered about Ethan's line. On the other hand Bailey is a common enough name, right.
But, in the process of filling in blanks with death records from SeekingMichigan.org this past week it occurred to me that, Ethan's daughter-in-law, Rachel (Deer) Bailey, and my 5th great aunt Sarah J. (Deer) Helsel, share a maiden name. So, out of idle curiosity, I went searching for their Deer families and I think that I found them together in Allegheny Co, PA.
Listed here: Sarah Deer and her children: Hannah, George, Rachel, Sarah, and Washington.
Further investigation places everyone but Washington in Kent County by 1870. Hannah married, John Jacob Reinshagen, George a woman named Catherine, Rachel married Harvey Bailey, and Sarah married Henry L. Helsel. And their mother, Sarah, was living with George in 1870. The death certificates for the first three children all list the same parents. Sarah's certificate does not, so for me this is not definitive… but my gut is pushing me to find more information—especially after I found, a marriage between Sarah's daughter Zoa and Hannah's nephew, Henry Reinhagen.
This one's still an ongoing hunt but, whether or not anyone else needs to be reminded, I need to remember not to focus too hard on a particular possible relationship… often others will present themselves—especially when you're following a cluster of families.
Happy hunting,

The list of country high points is one of the most fundamental highpoint lists that can be generated. However, there are two main difficulties with coming up with a master list of the world's nation summits. The first is defining a consistent, reliable list of countries--on this web site, an attempt was made to do just that (Click here for a detailled explanation of how the list of 254 countries was generated). The second issue is that many countries are very low-lying and have no discernable mountains or hills at all. This is a particular problem for many countries made up of coral atolls.
This list represents my best attempt to come up with a comprehensive list of 254 country high points. I am sure that there are many errors and that the list will evolve with time.

Yesterday's Here and Now (on NPR) included a fascinating (15-minute) interview of journalist Martha Frankel, who has just published her funny but disturbing autobiography "Hats and Eyeglasses." From the NPR abstract: "Though she grew up around gambling, Martha Frankel, was largely immune from its lure, until she was in her mid-forties and discovered poker. When she found out she could play the game online, what had been fun turned into an addiction." You can listen to the interview here.
* * *
Chris Berdik (from WBUR) has a great story "The Science of Gambling Addiction," which you can listen to here (7.5 minutes). We've included a few excerpts from the story below.
* * *
[S]cientists have only recently started exploring the gambling mind, actually looking into what happens inside the brains of people like Ed when the dice roll or when the starting gates swing open at the track.
* * *
BERDIK: As far as our brains are concerned, when we walk into a casino all the action starts in our midbrain, in a bundle of neural pathways called the "natural reward circuit." Whenever we experience something pleasurable, from a delicious meal to a slot machine jackpot, the neurotransmitter dopamine pulses through this circuit.
Timothy Fong, co-director of UCLA's gambling studies program, says that for most of us, this natural reward circuit is critical for learning and motivation.
FONG: It's a hard wired circuit that is inside our brains, that is evolutionarily important. Because if we couldn't experience pleasure or reward, why would we ever do anything, or seek out new experiences.
BERDIK: But for some of us, the natural reward circuit is in overdrive, pumping dopamine, pedal to the floor.
FONG: A lot of pathological gamblers will tell me when they walk into a casino they start salivating, they talk about being in the zone, they talk about having this profound euphoria.
* * *
BERDIK: The notion of a reward circuit gone haywire underlies a lot of today's research into the biology of addiction. And the kicker is that the neurons in this circuit don't need an actual reward to get excited. Anticipation is more than enough.
Hans Breiter, a radiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital, demonstrated this a few years ago.
He scanned the brains of normal healthy people playing games of chance where a spinning wheel either won or lost them cash. It turned out that the subjects' reward circuits lit up even before the wheel settled on a number, reacting simply to the prospect of a jackpot.
Gamblers, especially habitual ones, have long talked about the rush. Ed felt it.
ED: The sensation then was like, you know you're on the edge. It was like skydiving.
BERDIK: As a result, a little winning, just enough to kick start those reward anticipation neurons, can make gambling fun even if at the end of the night you're down, by a lot.
In his lab, Breiter pulls out a paper comparing the brain scan of a healthy person playing a game of chance with that of a cocaine addict from an earlier experiment in which the subjects' brains were scanned before during and after receiving an shot of cocaine.
BREITER: In this particular image what you see is a splotch of color on top of a part of the brain. We could not differentiate between the healthy control subject, having the expectancy of a gain, and the cocaine subject having the expectancy of a cocaine infusion.
BERDIK: Breiter's research shows that in addition to an overactive reward circuit, the brains of people with gambling addiction are different in another way.
When people viewed a spinning wheel with mostly negative numbers, in other words, when they faced a potential loss. The natural reward circuit was much less active, but some parts of the brain were more active, including the orbit frontal cortex, the part of our brain that helps us control our impulses, evaluate risk, and make decisions like when to fold a hand in poker. It's why the orbit frontal cortex is sometimes called "the brakes of the brain."
This summer, Dr. Fong of UCLA published research in which he compared the brain functions of compulsive gamblers and methamphetamine addicts. He found that both groups display similar impairments to the part of the brain where the orbit frontal cortex resides. In other words, says Fong, for both compulsive gamblers and meth addicts, the brakes are gone.
FONG: The fascinating question is how did these brain changes happen? Were people born this way, or is it possible that just by the act of gambling itself, that somehow people are able to modify their brain functioning and then all the sudden create this condition of pathological gambling.
BERDIK: So while experts say about five percent of the population is at risk for compulsive gambling, how much of that risk is influenced by factors like the proliferation of online gambling or, say, having a glitzy new casino right down the road? Again, Dr. Fong.
FONG: My personal belief is there's probably a combination here. Where people are probably born with vulnerability, or a biological susceptibility to develop gambling addiction, but unless they are exposed to gambling at an early age, they're probably not going to develop this problem.
BERDIK: Addiction researchers are conducting clinical trials on drugs to help treat problem gamblers, but no matter what scientists discover those who work with compulsive gamblers say that breaking the habit will always take more than a pill. It often takes major lifestyle changes.
Below we've the initial portions of a news article from an Atlantic City news channel, "Compulsive Gambler Files $20M Suit Against Casinos."
She was an ambitious lawyer and TV commentator who starting going to Atlantic City casinos to relax, and soon was getting high-roller treatment that included limousines whisking her to the resort.
Arelia Margarita Taveras says she was even allowed to bring her dog, Sasha, to the blackjack tables, sitting in her purse.
But her gambling spun out of control: She said she would go days at a time at the tables, not eating or sleeping, brushing her teeth with disposable wipes so she didn't have to leave.She says her losses totaled nearly $1 million.Now she's chasing the longest of long shots: a $20 million racketeering lawsuit in federal court against six Atlantic City casinos and one in Las Vegas, claiming they had a duty to notice her compulsive gambling problem and cut her off."They knew I was going for days without eating or sleeping," Taveras said. "I would pass out at the tables. They had a duty of care to me. Nobody in their right mind would gamble for four or five straight days without sleeping."Experts say her case will be difficult to prove, but it provides an unusually detailed window into the life of a problem gambler.

They say you're nobody in DC until you've been covered by The Reliable Source column in The Washington Post. Teddy Roosevelt's recent disappearance drew the attention of the Post's Roxanne Roberts, who in today's paper writes about the Nats failure to let Teddy win, and calls Teddy's reported injury "a classic Washington coverup."
This barely 24 hours after ABC News White House political correspondent Karen Travers was seen snooping around Nationals Park, preparing a story about Teddy scheduled to air tomorrow.
The focus of DC political scandal 90 years after his death? I think Teddy Roosevelt would have been proud.

A vote for Barney
Excerpts from an editorial to appear in Saturday's MetroWest Daily News:
Barney Frank, who retired from the House Thursday after 32 years, initially expressed disinterest in the Senate, either as an interim appointee or as a candidate in a special election.
"It was kind of like, you're about to graduate and they said, you've got to go to summer school," Frank said Friday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "But that [fiscal cliff] deal now means that February, March, and April are going to be among the most important months in American financial history."
Frank said he has now told Patrick he'd like the interim position, but he would not be a candidate in the special election. "Put me in, Coach," he said.
More than anyone we can think of, Frank would be an impact player coming off the bench. He knows the budget inside and out, and has strong ideas about where to cut as well as what to protect. In the House, he earned a reputation as a master of facts, rhetoric and parliamentary procedure, all of which could be put to good use in the Senate.
Some might argue the Senate needs a conciliator, but we can't imagine any newcomer who could fill that role. Still smarting from the fiscal cliff deal, Republicans are looking for a street fight, and in that context, Frank would be a ringer – one of the toughest kids from a nearby neighborhood, brought in at just the right minute.
Patrick will make up his own mind, and surely has his own priorities. He'll likely consult with Kerry, the White House, and perhaps Majority Leader Harry Reid before making his decision. But if he asked us, we'd say, "put Barney in, Coach."

Trading domains is completely legal as long as the domain being sold does not infringe on the trademark rights of a third party.
Domain name sellers should be aware that it is their responsibility to ensure that their domain name is free from possible trademark infringements before listing it for sale. Ignorance of domain law is no excuse!
Possessing a trademark for a given term does not guarantee that you have a legal claim to a domain name. Possession of a valid trademark is only one of three requirements that you need to meet to win ownership of a domain name via ICANN's Uniform Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), the policy governing ownership disputes for the generic TLDs (.com, .net, .org, .biz, and .info) or the U.S. Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (15 U.S.C. sec. 1125).
Before making a complaint, make sure that you've consulted a qualified trademark attorney with experience in domain names. Legal disputes should be considered a last option: the cost for a UDRP case is $1,500 plus legal expenses, and there is no guarantee that you will win.

Wheelchair Van Financing Options:
A very unfortunate reality is that because there is no 'book value' anywhere in the world for wheelchair vans, nearly every lender uses the same value guide to establish collateral value for a wheelchair van as a standard, unmodified van. The result of this practice is that typically a person with a good or even excellent credit rating is only able to borrow a small portion of the cost of a wheelchair van which is based on the value of the vehicle chassis. Most banks do not even consider the cost or value of the modifications and/or conversion that has been performed on the vehicle. The amount available is often less than 50% of the cost. Therefore, some folks who don't have cash readily available chose to access funds from sources such as:
* Home equity loans or lines of credit
* Reverse mortgages (a positive consideration if you are of a certain age with much equity in your home or property)
* Credit cards with low or reasonable rates and fees
* Personal lines of credit, sometimes referred to as signature loans
* Savings accounts, stocks, bonds, securities, etc.
It is very rare that a traditional bank will be the source for a mobility vehicle loan. More often it will be with a Credit Union.
And if none of the above fits for you, I have these two suggestions for you which may be helpful in finding financing for your mobility vehicle purchase.
Credit Unions are often the best choice for mobility vehicle loans.
You may or may not realize that Credit Unions function differently than traditional banks. Over the course of many years in the wheelchair van industry, there is expertise I have developed regarding getting loans on wheelchair vans. My observation has been that oftentimes folks discover no problem or resistance when they apply for a loan on one of these vans with a Credit Union. (If the vehicle falls within their vehicle financing parameters of 10-year-old or newer with less than 80,000 miles)
Digital Federal Credit Union :
- For vehicles with equipment or modifications to assist people with disabilities – If you have a disability, there are several types of modified vehicles on the market to help you get around. Unfortunately, lift-equipped vans, vehicles with hand controls, and other modifications can be very expensive. DCU can help make them more affordable by spreading the cost over time. The borrower need not be the beneficiary of the purchase.
- For new or used vehicles – with the same low rates.
- Purchase or refinance – Borrow to buy your next vehicle or refinance the one you drive.
- Great rates and affordable payments – Finance up to 120 months. The longer the loan term, the lower your monthly payment.
- Borrow up to 100% of the purchase price – Qualified borrowers can finance up to 100% of the purchase price or the combination of the NADA retail value of the chassis plus the retail value of the conversion – whichever is less – up to $100,000. The minimum loan amount is $5,000.
- Save with Relationship benefits and electronic payment – Save on rates when you qualify for Relationship benefits on your DCU Checking Account and make payments electronically (payment by transfer in Online Banking, Mobile Banking, Easy Touch Telephone Teller, DCU ATM, or internal DCU automatic transfers. Add 0.50% to rate for other payment methods.
Rogue Credit Union: Located in Southern Oregon, Rogue Credit Union "Rogue Credit Union is a not-for-profit cooperative financial institution that is owned and operated by its members. Members elect a Board of Directors to oversee the credit union and the President/CEO reports to this board. The Board of Directors and credit union President/CEO works hard to guarantee profits are shared with members through the payment of dividends, lower rates on loans and higher earnings on savings. Because credit unions aren't focused on making a profit, interest rates on credit cards and auto loans average around two percentage points lower than bank rates." https://www.roguecu.org/loan

Navy Federal Credit Union: https://www.navyfederal.org/products-services/loans/auto/auto-loans.php
If you or your immediate family has been in any division of the armed forces, either one of these national organizations can be the ideal source for a loan. They tend to offer very low rates, quick approvals and they are easy to interact with. Feel free to call me with questions about these two sources of loans.
Brandl Mobility Financing: This organization, as their name suggests, exclusively lends money for the purchase of wheelchair van loans. They usually only offer loans on vans that are 10 years or newer. Their core specialty is loaning on new vans and up to 3 years old. https://www.brandlmobility.com/wheelchair-van-financing

NTP Inc., a patent-holding company that won a $612.5 million settlement from RIM in 2006, has struck again with a settlement involving 13 of the biggest companies in the tech industry.
NTP, noting that it holds eight US patents "relating to the delivery of electronic mail over wireless systems," today said it reached a settlement with 13 companies representing just about everyone involved in building and selling smartphones or delivering e-mail to them. The 13 companies are AT&T, Verizon Wireless, Sprint Nextel, T-Mobile, Apple, HTC, Motorola Mobility, Palm, LG, Samsung, Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo.
"The signed agreement provides broad coverage under NTP's patent portfolio to all of the companies," NTP said. Consequently, "all pending litigation between NTP and these companies will be dismissed."
With the exception of Nokia and RIM, who were already paying NTP, the settlement covered "pretty much the entire industry," said intellectual property attorney Ron Epstein, who was settlement counsel for NTP and used to run Intel's licensing group. But when asked if that means NTP is done filing lawsuits, Epstein told us there are a couple more companies in NTP's sights.
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, but Epstein told Ars that the companies involved "were able to provide a financial return to patent owners that they're happy with and provide substantial discounts to each of the participating parties." He said the deal is unique in that it covered a large number of companies rather than just one, and happened somewhat independently of any lawsuit. Pending litigation had been stayed while the US Patent and Trademark Office re-examined NTP patents, he said.
NTP has been called a "patent troll," namely a company that makes no technology of its own but uses patents to sue others. While NTP doesn't make any of its own technology, Epstein said it was created with the intention of building technology, not suing. NTP was founded by Thomas Campana, who filed for and received dozens of patents before dying in 2004. One representative patent describes an "Electronic mail system with RF communications to mobile processors," and was awarded to Campana in 2001.
Epstein said NTP did try to make its own products in the early 1990s, but was too early. "NTP [and its predecessor company] was working on building systems to send e-mail over wireless systems in 1990, '91, and '92," Epstein said. "In that era, almost no one had e-mail, and cell phones were the size of brief cases. They were way too early. They were founded to become a product company, but they were founded way too early."
Epstein added that Campana and colleagues "demonstrated a working wireless e-mail system on AT&T's network in 1991."
Some of NTP's patented claims were invalidated upon being challenged in front of the US Patent and Trademark Office, but enough stood for NTP sue major smartphone makers in 2010. The company then won a US Court of Appeals ruling in 2011 upholding the validity of many of the patents that were previously called invalid by the US Patent Office. That favorable ruling likely helped NTP win the settlement it announced today.
While NTP's announcement stated that it holds eight patents related to wireless e-mail technology, the company has at least a couple dozen overall. Epstein said the licensing agreement gives the 13 companies coverage under NTP's entire patent portfolio, not just the eight patents referenced in the announcement.
We're trying to get confirmation from the companies involved in the settlement. So far, Microsoft has declined to comment.

Pardes Restaurant's Chef/Owner, Moshe Wendel, opened this new eatery on October the 24th (497 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, NY, 11217; Tel: 718.797.3880), barely three weeks ago. Chef Moshe's culinary talents and passion for food, along with the friendly enthusiasm of his tight-knit staff result in a successful venture. Through the years, he carefully and methodically honed his skills. Starting out as a dishwasher at age 16, he climbed through the ranks through various prestigious establishments such as Philadelphia's celebrated Django restaurant. Moshe and his wife Shana became ba'alei tshuvah, and rushed back east to cook for Mosaica and Mike's Bistro. He opened Basil as Executive Chef, stayed there for a short while, and is now fulfilling his own dream of owning a top kosher restaurant.
Moshe had a clear vision for Pardes. Located in an area filled with art galleries, bookstores, fashion shops and assorted eateries featuring every kind of cuisine, Pardes became an extension of the chic, upscale, urban cool mix. My companion (SYR could not make it this time) and I got there at around 3:00pm, Lunch to Dinner transition time…
I ordered the Home Made Bouquerones [house cured white anchovies], with Red Pepper, Caper Berries, Arugula, Lemon Dressing.
With a hint of spiciness and ample richness of flavor, the well appointed dish was a perfect intro to the rest of the meal.
My companion chose the Tuna Crudo, with Porcini Popcorn, Arugula and Corn Coulis. She found it beautiful to look at and extremely flavorful.
Nile Perch, Poached in Hazelnut Garlic Broth, "Risotto" of White Asparagus, Granny Smith Salad was my next choice. Again… the unusual mix of seasonal flavors were refreshing & delightful! My companion opted for the Saffron Linguine, Mojama, Almonds & Chiles. A spicey delectable mix of flavors, nicely presented.
Next we both had their Spicey-Smokey Chicken "Wings", Red Pepper Saffron Vinaigrette, Tomato salad with Herbs, Preserved Lemon, Green olive and Jalapeno…
Check this out! A real treat for the taste buds! We were instructed to place the meat into our mouths and then press the spice filled pipette releasing the wonderful burst of flavours… Pretty outrageous!
For the mains we shared both the Pizza of Beef Tongue Confi, With 24 Hour Roasted Tomato and Fresh Basil….
…and the Short Ribs & Broccoli Rabe Lasagne. The meat Pizza tasted sinfully delicious; the thin crust and beef tongue confi made the cheese topped pizzas, I'm used to, almost irrelevant. The Short Ribs Lasagne, was unusually tasty but had a rather limp presentation compared to the other dishes we sampled.
For dessert, we had the ("Manna" Bee Pollen Dusted Angel Food, Quince, Honey Ice Cream, Sugared Almonds and Olive Oil Cake, Chocolate Flan, Espresso Flavored Marron Glaces) all quite tasty – even gifted – although presentation was lack-luster. All in all, we were treated to an outstanding meal and each of us gave it two big thumbs up! In a lesser restaurant we might even have praised the minor negatives we encountered here.
Next time I'll order from their ample beer selection, as well.
I was very gratified to see our favorite Chef, Lévana, shares our overall view after going to Pardes the evening after we did.

Aaron Hamm, an assistant hotel engineer who deals with HVAC, cooling systems, and maintenance, lacks the traditional qualifications to be an astronaut. But that doesn't mean he wants to stay on Earth. "I felt… I was discouraged as a child [from becoming an astronaut] just because of how unbelievably competitive it is," Hamm told Ars. "I'm a very intelligent person and I'm driven to try and achieve my dreams but, at the same time, I felt like it was an really unrealistic goal to try and pursue. As smart as I am, there's always plenty of people that are smarter."
Hamm, an Ars forum user by the name of Quisquis, has just applied for the private Mars One colony program. For him, a large part of the appeal is that the program seeks a different type of astronaut.
"I think that the Mars One mission and the idea of going somewhere that you're not coming back from for life… that's different than the general astronaut program," he said. Hamm also emphasized his own pioneer spirit, which he will need if accepted—there's no return journey planned for Mars One colonists.
A new horizon
Mars One is a private space mission that hopes to send a group of people to Mars in a decade and leave them there to foster the first human colony. It has received endorsement and support from the likes of Gerard 't Hooft, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist. But it has also been criticized on several counts, including treating a serious life-threatening scenario as a reality show for the purposes of monetization and seeking funding while being glib about nearly all the practical details.
Before applicants even get to see the application, they must pay an application fee of around $38 USD (the price varies depending on country of residence). They fill out a public-facing profile and answer several private questions about achievements and awards, incidents that have frightened or stressed them out and how they dealt with them, personality types they find difficult to handle, and how they deal with cultures other than their own. To date, 30,000 other Red Planet hopefuls have applied.
"I want to see the sun rise over a completely new horizon, in a completely new sky. I think that's worth any price," wrote Erica Meszaros, another Mars One applicant, in her personal essay.
Meszaros is a software developer by trade and interned with NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. She states that astronauts are traditionally chosen "from the Air Force" or—more recently, with the success of $200,000 per flight projects like Virgin Galactic—from "those with deep pockets."
Part of Mars One's pitch has been that much of the technology for traveling to and maintaining residence on Mars already exists; it's just a matter of marshaling resources and initiative to get there. Both Hamm and Meszaros echoed this sentiment. Despite being publicly vague on the details, Mars One leaders maintain that they know the cost of the mission ($6 billion) and that it can all be assembled and launched in 10 years.
All applicants make a video as part of their public facing profile discussing, in brief, why they want to or are suited for a mission to Mars. "I have a great sense of humor, so I really get along with everybody," said Francisco, a 32 year-old Argentinian man who works in "the commercial area at a plastic containers factory."
"I've got a feeling that I don't belong here, but out there," said Anders, a 51-year-old Swedish man who has the most popular profile on the site. "What makes me the perfect candidate? Well, I'm single. I'm flexible."
"I believe that the challenge that I'm putting up with everybody… If anybody can challenge me with the knowledge and all the things that I can do, then I give up, but if not, I would like to be the first one to go," said Vasile Sofroni, a 54-year-old Romanian man with the second most popular profile.
The technical viability of the project has been repeatedly called into question, though detailed critiques are hard to come by because the project is so vague (the New York Times summed up the general feeling in a recent article that talked about the "significant skepticism" that Mars One "has raised in some quarters").
Critics also criticized Mars One for its attempt to turn the trip into an extravagant and potentially dangerous reality TV show. The first round of the application process allows people to vote on applicants based on their public profiles to push them through to the next qualifying round (though there is not, per the current design, any public involvement going forward).
But neither Hamm nor Meszaros see themselves as fame seekers. "I don't, right now, have a strategy for progressing, other than trying to get across my passion… for this endeavor," Meszaros told me. Hamm said that he has been pushing his application and name out on sites like Facebook ("my friends are already a little tired of it") but notes he has "never applied to another reality show."
Worth the risk
By now, Mars One has proven that there are sufficient number of people who don't need to know any technical details for about the potential chance to live on Mars. Tens of thousands have plunked down cash to throw their would-be astronaut helmets into the ring without needing virtually any concrete information.
But should space travel push come to reality entertainment shove, aren't applicants at least a little afraid of—how to put this delicately—either a fiery space death or a frigid Martian death?
"The purpose that I would be pursuing is so much greater than myself," Hamm said. "I think the benefit to humanity is overwhelming of those fears."

I love this series done by Kotaku Fake Gamer of the week ( not sure if there's a US version but that's the .au link ) It makes a mockery of gaming stock photos, and picks on every kind of fake gamer, girls, guys, old people! cyber goths and even babies.
2.I finally updated my blogroll ( Links to bloggers that haven't been around since 2008. It was long over due ) my rss reader is very quite, but there are some bloggers, Tobold, Blessing of Kings, Big Bear Butt, Klep, Riv even, that just keep plugging away and writing, come hail, shine, rain, boredom, expansion, they keep writing, and that is all kinds of awesome. There are less and less bloggers who were around when I first started blogging about wow and that's a little sad but its good to see the old timers being battle bloggers of a sort.
3. I'm not raiding in MOP, ( hurt me if I end up raiding after all – but I am going to try damn hard not to) I tried to not raid in Cata. This whole attempting to make sure I have a life, and follow other worthy pursuits didn't quite work out, but I did enjoy my cata raiding, It's very difficult to date and raid. When you are kicking someone out because you need to get on the pc to raid, or being non-committal to seeing someone because you're not sure if that's the night your going to kill the next big boss then priorities need a little tweaking. Dating a raider didn't work out either.
4. I'm getting a short story published in a local anthology. Weeeeee. They are even having a book launch! ( but not until October) I was pretty happy to get in. They published a story of mine 2 /3 years ago, and I was motivated this year to enter again. I spent more time editing it ( with a friends help – who is better then I at things like grammar ) then I did writing it. But I felt it was as polished as it was going to get. I still have to go to an editing workshop which I am sure it will be polished again and made even better!

text: Giving your dog nutritious home cooked food or high-quality kibble is undoubtedly the best dietary option. However, dogs diagnosed with various health issues ranging from obesity to kidney problems sometimes need a specialized diet. Dogs with a sensitive gastrointestinal system also need specially formulated food. This is exactly where prescription dog food comes into play. Prescribed by veterinarians, these products target a particular health issue. For example, a prescription diet dog food contains far fewer calories than regular dog food and aims at reducing obesity in dogs. If your dog is suffering from a recurring health issue there is a chance that it's linked to the diet. Speak to a qualified veterinarian about prescription diet and how it can help improve your dog's health. Available as dry kibble as well as wet food, these are meant to replace regular meals until such time the targeted health problem is controlled or as advised by the vet.At PetCareRx, we feature some of the most reputed brands including Hill's Prescription Diet® and Royal Canin, to ensure you never have to compromise on quality. These manufacturers have stringent quality control systems in place and ensure all their prescription dog food products meet the exact dietary requirements.

The push to open access to scientific publications has seen some remarkable successes this year. After publishers appeared to overreach by pushing to revoke the US government's existing open access policy, researchers started boycotting one of the bill's backers. A competing bill was introduced that would compel more government agencies to make their work available via open access, and a similar White House petition has received over 25,000 signatures. Even the editor-in-chief of Nature now considers open access an inevitability.
Publishers that offer open access options need to recoup their costs without subscription fees, however, and had researchers pay for their publications with charges that are generally over $1,000. Now, a new open access journal is being launched that aims to turn the finances on their head. Researchers will only have to pay a one-time fee of $259 to gain lifetime publishing privileges in the journal, which will focus on biology research. Ars talked to the publisher, Peter Binfeld, to find out how the new peer-reviewed, biology-focused PeerJ will work.
Binfeld believes that open access to research has reached an inflection point. "It feels like we've turned a hockey-stick corner of a disruption curve, and open access is now picking up, and I think everyone can see that," he said. Unfortunately, open access publishing, though free for readers, costs researchers a lot of money. PeerJ is a "great opportunity to experiment with a different business model, a different payment model."
Binfeld was formerly at the open access publisher Public Library of Science managing its PLoS One journal, which charges its authors $1,350 to publish—and it's one of the cheaper PLoS journals (fees go up to $2,900 at other PLoS journals). PNAS, a traditional journal, charges roughly the same amount to provide open access to one of its papers, and that's on top of the usual per-page and per-figure fees charged for the print version.
All of which makes PeerJ's pricing model nothing short of jaw-dropping. For a one-time $99 fee, anyone can publish a single paper a year for life (although the first dozen authors on the paper all have to sign up). $259 buys any author a lifetime membership, with the ability to publish as many papers as they choose. Bottom line: for only a fraction of the cost of a regular publication, researchers can publish as often as they want.
"It flips the model from payment-for-publication to a membership model," Binfeld said, "where someone gets a membership for life and gets free publications thereafter."
A new approach
How can this possibly work? Binfeld's answer suggests that he has run the numbers carefully. Part of the solution relies on the dynamics of authorship: not everyone will publish all of their papers in PeerJ, and some people will publish a couple of papers and then leave research. Most papers in biology have multiple authors, too, which will help drive membership.
PeerJ has also figured out how to cut costs. The journal will use customized software to mange the article submission and peer review process, and journal content will be stored on Amazon's S3 service and presented to users via software running on EC2. For long-term archiving, the publication will be placed at the National Institutes of Health's PubMed Central archive. According to Binfield's partner, Jason Hoyt, they've got a couple of servers for internal use, but everything user-facing will run on Amazon's hardware.
"When you do all the math, the revenue works out," Binfeld said, "and the costs need to be kept as low as possible."
Other aspects that add to the costs of traditional journals, like news and commentary, will not make an appearance in PeerJ. The journal will follow PLoS one's model: research will be judged on the scientific validity of the experiments, and the journal won't focus on the probable impact or significance of the work. The plan is to ensure that review is completed within a month of the article's submission.
PeerJ's involvement can, at the authors' choice, also start well before a paper is submitted for review. The journal will run a preprint server where researchers can place drafts and works-in-progress—common practice in the physics community, but not yet popular among biologists. Binfeld says PeerJ hopes to make the practice more appealing by giving users fine-grained control over sharing, letting them limit who has access to papers prior to publication. Authors also get the chance to share the title and/or abstract, which Binfeld suggested can help authors claim precedence for being the first to report some results.
Although the pricing and open access are appealing, PeerJ's plan is really to build up a sense of community within the researchers who publish there. "By doing this," Binfeld said, "we will have a community of members, of peers, rather than a collection of one-off customers who publish a paper with us, and we charge them money, they leave, and we don't care about them, we don't see them again."PeerJ will try to leverage this sense of community—Binfeld referred to having "members in good standing" who were involved in peer review for the journal.
PeerJ also plans to do peer review a bit differently. Members won't get credit for any peer review they do anonymously, which is part of a plan to encourage an open peer review system. "We're trying to encourage open peer review, and that really has two aspects," Binfeld said. "You can openly provide your identity as a reviewer. The other end of open peer review is to provide the entire peer review history on the published paper, and we're going to encourage but not require both of them." (That history includes the reviewers' comments and any changes made in response to them.)
PeerJ is trying many new things at once, and it's not clear all of them will succeed. Still, the most radical change—the low price—is sure to attract some people who are willing to give it a try. The journal also has an excellent pedigree, with Binfeld's experience at PLoS paired with that of cofounder Jason Hoyt, who worked at community reference management site Mendeley. The team has also picked up the backing of open access aficionado Tim O'Reilly. So even if all their different endeavors don't pan out, the effort still has the potential to be disruptive.

Thinkmap is designed to improve the ability of users to browse through complex information. It allows for interactive, dynamic filtering and the display of structured information without overwhelming the user or undermining the depth of the information resource.
Search engines work well for users who know exactly what they are looking for. But for users with only a vague sense of what they are after, a different type of retrieval tool is needed. Thinkmap interfaces support users who are unsure of what they want to find, or of what is available.
Thinkmap interfaces are useful for communicating a dataset's structure. Thinkmap displays can present a data object in its full relational context, so that users can appreciate not only that two objects are related, but exactly how. Properties of the interface can be mapped to quantitative properties of the data, enabling, for example, the ability to visually represent how closely two objects are related.
Thinkmap is fully dynamic, and is capable of showing changes in underlying data in near real-time. Thinkmap interfaces can be used to submit queries; retrieve and display result sets; and present users with options for continuing to query the underlying data.
Any entity within a Thinkmap interface can link to content text, multimedia, documents, or Web pages that provides more detail about the entity. In other words, a Thinkmap interface can be designed to display micro and macro views of a data set, side-by-side. This feature also makes Thinkmap a valuable tool for letting users intuitively browse through large amounts of interrelated content, increasing the chances that they will find something they did not know they were looking for.
The Thinkmap Software Developers Kit (SDK) is a well-structured collection of code libraries, examples, and documentation that makes it simple for developers to quickly create their own Thinkmap applications. The power and flexibility of Thinkmap is accessed through a series of a combination of an XML Configuration language (for describing data connections), and a well designed and easy-to-use JavaScript framework. Through adapting Thinkmap examples, a developer can quickly customize Thinkmap for the business need at hand. Our customers typically have their first Thinkmap built well within a week.
Thinkmap is designed to be extendable and to allow developers to implement customized solutions. We provide customers with plug-and-play connectors to JDBC databases, XML, and flat files, along with an API for integrating Thinkmap with non-standardized data sources and proprietary software.
Thinkmap can be deployed as a client only application, 3-tier Web-based client-server application, an n-tier application, or a standalone application. Thinkmap's "thin" client provides powerful real-time visualization using HTML5 in a web browser (no plug-ins required), and the technology can integrate into existing applications as a component.
Thinkmap is standards-based, and works well within most application server environments. The technology has been deployed as a front-end to a variety of enterprise systems, including document management systems, customer relationship management systems, configuration management databases, digital asset management systems, and automatic classification engines.

Dessert, made by Pastry Chef Jose Leon, was incredible! Between the churros 9mentioned above) the vanilla flan covered with coconut shavings, good latte and espresso, the meal ended with memorable parting flavors.
The wine (Lan Zur Merlot 2011) young, with overpowering tannins and a bitter end to my taste, became more tolerable as it had time to aerate during the various courses. Service by Jeff was impeccable and most attentive; he described each dish in good detail and did small big things like wipe the table clean during service; it certainly was above and beyond the call of duty!
All in all, CS did not exaggerate in his praise of Ladino, yesterday's early tasty dinner corroborated it. I liked the chilled munch and chat atmosphere and look forward to coming back on a motzey Shabbat, after Shavuot, when live Latino guitar music will be featured!
